rights case that determination against sexual minorities should be treated under civil rights equivalent to discrimination on the basis of race and and religion. anthony kennedy, that would've been a major breakthrough for not just transgender but for gays and lesbians who live in states where there unknown discrimination laws for example. but he had a very narrow decision about marriage and treated not as a civil rights case nearly as a gay rights case in a marriage case how special marriage is america and you should this glued and disrespect children that they have by denying them access to the institution, that was a result of successful messaging from gay rights activist about how and why gay people wanted to be part of the institution of marriage, not about anti-gay discrimination in the central problem, there's a lot of people who look back and think this is obviously a big victory for gay rights but it could have been leveraged into a more sweeping victory for the lgbtq community. >> is amazing as you point out before any of the controversy hit nationally they gay rights movement
